The people of Babylonians were trying to make a tower to the heavens. They all spoke one language and were all one people. Then God came down to see what they have done and decided that everything they do with be under stood, so he scattered many different languages across the land to make it impossible for them to communicate. that is why the tower is called the tower of babel.
The Significance
I think that the significance of this tail is that humans believe that they can do anything and the people of Babylon were being over confident in themselves and self center and God wanted to show them that he will always be great then them.
